Why Is Winter Warm?

Now Max is always moaning about the cold and has been on about how we are going to freeze when Winter comes. The other day he told me Winter was here and I thought I ought to make preparations if I was going to freeze.

I was wandering about looking for suitable blankets and things to wrap myself in when I chanced upon those radiator things the two legs have in every room. Now all through the year they sit there - the radiators that is not the two legs - although they do tend to sit about quite a bit. The radiators don't ever move or seemingly eat anything. Funny creatures they are.

Now I have passed by them many times during the year and being a polite cat I always say good morning to them and rub up against them. They never respond to me and are always cold as charity sitting there. i guess they must get very bored never doing anything but sit there. I did see old two legs put some paint on them once - I suppose he was trying to brighten their day.

So this morning I walked by and said my usual good morning and I heard a bit of a rumble come from the radiator's stomach. I was quite surprised and went back and rubbed against it. It was warm, bordering on hot, I shouted to Max who came and smiled and curled up immediately underneath it. Sebastian nudged his bed over towards it and when he found it too tiring just collapsed into his bed in the middle of the room.

I jumped up on top and found a lovely warm sleeping place.

I wonder why they are only hot in Winter - like I said radiators are funny creatures.
